Southern Cross Super Plan

- Investment Options

The Fund provides members with two styles of investment options:

  • single manager options (where one investment company manages all aspects of the option.)

OR

  • multi-manager options (where we put managers together to suit a specific style of investor.)

Those members who like to have greater control over their investments can put together their own combination of managers when building their superannuation strategy.

Those members who would like to be guided in their direction can select from our Strategy Pools, where we have put together a panel of companies to manage different components of each option. As part of the process, the asset allocation and manager allocation is reviewed on a regular basis by Millennium3 Financial Services Pty Ltd ('M3FS'), an Australian Financial Services Licensee. M3FS monitor the investment markets, the managers, and their performance. Using their research, they ensure that the best available managers are used in our Strategy Pools, and they ensure that the asset allocation remains true to risk profile of each option. This means that the members who use these options do not need to worry about monitoring the managers themselves, nor do they need to re-balance their allocations.

Your qualified Adviser is able to assist members in identifying their most appropriate investment strategy.
